Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has upgraded its ratings on the bank facilities of Danavarshini Exports Private Limited (DEPL) to 'CRISIL BBB-/Stable/CRISIL A3' from 'CRISIL BB+/Stable/CRISIL A4+'.

The rating upgrade reflects CRISIL's belief that DEPL will sustain its improved business and financial risk profiles over medium term. Revenue improved from Rs 113 crores in 2016 to Rs 140 crores in 2019, due to better demand for its exports and addition of new customers; while operating margin remained above six percent. Improvement in operating performance has resulted in better net cash accruals and improved networth. DEPL is expected to sustain its revenue growth over medium term supported by long standing relation with key customers. Networth improved from Rs. 17.2 crores in fiscal year 2016 to Rs. 26.4 crores in fiscal year 2019. Financial profile is expected to remain comfortable over medium term supported by its networth and absence of large debt funded capex plan.

CRISIL ratings on the bank facilities of DEPL continues to reflect the promoters' extensive experience in the textile industry and DEPL's moderate financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices, and intense competition.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths:
* Promoters' extensive experience in the textile industry
DEPL benefits from the promoters' industry experience over the decades, their strong understanding of market dynamics, and healthy relations with customers and suppliers across globe. CRISIL believes that DEPL will continue to benefit from its promoters' long standing industry experience over the medium term.
 
* Moderate financial risk profile:
DEPL's gearing was moderate at around 1.21 times as at March 31, 2019. Debt protection metrics were comfortable with interest coverage ratio of around 4.2 times and Net Cash Accrual To adjusted Debt (NCATD) of 20%. Financial metrics are expected to remain adequate going forward driven by the company's moderate cash accruals and capital structure.
 
Weaknesses:
* Susceptibility to volatile raw material prices and foreign exchange fluctuations
Cotton yarn, the key raw material, accounts for 65% of the total production cost. Cotton yarn prices are volatile because production of cotton is dependent on the monsoon and variation in international demand. Further, the company is an export-oriented unit and supplies mainly to Europe. CRISIL expects DEPL to continue to remain exposed to risks related to volatility in input material prices and forex rates.
 
* Exposure to intense competition
Low entry barriers have also resulted in high fragmentation in the fabric and ready-made garments industry. Consequently margins of smaller players remain vulnerable to intense industry competition.
Liquidity Adequate

* Moderate bank limit utilization
Bank limit utilization is moderate at around 68.75 percent for the past twelve months ended Dec 2019.
 
* Cash accrual sufficient to meet debt obligation
Cash accrual are expected to be over Rs 6.5-7 crores which are sufficient against term debt obligation of Rs 1.5 -2.5 crores over the medium term. In addition, it will act as a cushion to the liquidity of the company.
 
* Moderate current ratio
Current ratio is moderate at 1.17 times as on March 31, 2019.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes DEPL will continue to benefit over the medium term from the extensive experience of the promoters.

Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward factor
* Sustained improvement in scale of operation by 25% and sustenance of operating margin at above 8.5%, leading to higher cash accruals .
* Improvement in financial risk profile.

Downward factor
* Decline in revenues at 20% and margins to 5.5%, leading to lower accruals.
* Detoriation in financial risk profile.
